Generally speaking,
CPUPPCState: Only if this is used for TCG with an offset from AREG0 (or
for legacy grouping reasons).
PowerPCCPU: If you ever intend to let the user override this value
(per-instance) from the command line.
PowerPCCPUClass: If the value is always constant at runtime.
I can't tell from a brief look at this patch which may be the case here.
